A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, The Trophy Bride Gets a Night Court Rescue, Pt 2

1
00:00:00,657 --> 00:00:04,504
Hey confessors, brace yourselves! Part 2 of A Court of Mist and

2
00:00:04,584 --> 00:00:08,431
Fury coverage is here with secrets, tension, and

3
00:00:08,512 --> 00:00:10,772
a whole lot of heat. Buckle up!

4
00:00:38,110 --> 00:00:38,921
They're getting married.

5
00:00:42,133 --> 00:00:45,631
It's wedding day and fucking Feyre is wearing this god-awful

6
00:00:45,631 --> 00:00:48,901
dress that fucking Ianthe has picked for her.

7
00:00:49,436 --> 00:00:52,678
Feyre hates it. Tamlin hates it. He laughed at her when she wore it, but

8
00:00:52,678 --> 00:00:55,097
it was like, oh, you got to do it because it sends this message, whatever

9
00:00:55,097 --> 00:00:57,710
the fuck, right? Tradition or something. Yeah.

10
00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:02,063
So she is— I don't know if I want to live in a world where

11
00:01:02,063 --> 00:01:03,605
that is the tradition, but okay.

12
00:01:06,283 --> 00:01:09,613
So she is about to walk down the aisle and she kind of

13
00:01:09,645 --> 00:01:12,668
hesitates off the jump. And our good old Alice is like, hey,

14
00:01:13,843 --> 00:01:17,354
did you forget you're getting married today? Got to take a step. She decides,

15
00:01:17,451 --> 00:01:20,887
fuck, let me start walking down this aisle. She sees now

16
00:01:21,241 --> 00:01:24,903
finally that all these things that Ayante has picked for the day that

17
00:01:24,952 --> 00:01:28,688
she's sort of been ignoring The color scheme. The reason I'm

18
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,551
bringing this up is as she's walking down the aisle, already kind of

19
00:01:32,679 --> 00:01:36,077
second-guessing herself, she sees red flowers

20
00:01:36,270 --> 00:01:39,908
sprinkled throughout the aisle, which triggers her to think of the blood that she saw

21
00:01:39,956 --> 00:01:43,547
under the mountain. Mm-hmm. And so she keeps

22
00:01:43,547 --> 00:01:47,234
walking slowly down the aisle because she sees Tamlin. She's like, oh, he looks so

23
00:01:47,234 --> 00:01:50,968
beautiful. And she's trying to push herself to do it, but everything in

24
00:01:51,001 --> 00:01:53,469
her body is saying, this is wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong.

25
00:01:55,244 --> 00:01:58,421
Um, so much so— oh, oh, oh, mind you,

26
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,421
they had 300 guests at this wedding. Oh yeah.

27
00:02:03,662 --> 00:02:06,329
300, and they were all from Tamlin's court.

28
00:02:07,727 --> 00:02:11,519
So as she's walking down the aisle, seeing the red flowers, all these people are

29
00:02:11,519 --> 00:02:15,185
staring at her, and it reminds her of how they stared at

30
00:02:15,234 --> 00:02:18,323
her under the mountain. So she's just triggered on her wedding day.

31
00:02:19,897 --> 00:02:22,811
So mental state, that's where she's at. She's like, fuck.

32
00:02:24,915 --> 00:02:28,055
She gets towards the end of the aisle and

33
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:32,151
freezes. Tamlin steps forward. He's like, hey girl,

34
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,638
what's up? Tries to like— Are you coming, bro?

35
00:02:35,815 --> 00:02:39,559
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You here? What? This is what

36
00:02:39,559 --> 00:02:42,283
we're doing. And she steps back

37
00:02:43,645 --> 00:02:46,938
and in her mind she is just screaming for help.

38
00:02:47,897 --> 00:02:51,743
Like, somebody help me, somebody help me, someone help

39
00:02:51,743 --> 00:02:55,588
me. Um, and that's— isn't

40
00:02:55,588 --> 00:02:59,418
that when the incredible bond between her and Rhysand

41
00:02:59,771 --> 00:03:03,232
came into play? Yeah, it's always been there, but he hears her.

42
00:03:03,681 --> 00:03:07,495
Yeah, so he hears her begging somebody for help.

43
00:03:08,504 --> 00:03:12,013
She's like, help me, save me, get me out, end this. And

44
00:03:12,254 --> 00:03:16,004
all of a sudden In walk— well, in appears

45
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,888
Rhysand in his fucking glorious

46
00:03:20,202 --> 00:03:23,888
black suit and like shadows, and he like bursts through into the

47
00:03:23,888 --> 00:03:27,157
ceremony and everybody's like, oh, it's Rhysand!

48
00:03:27,654 --> 00:03:30,538
Ianthi's like, I'm fucking out of here. She jets out

49
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:35,106
and Tamlin's like, no, like tries to be like, yo, let us finish the

50
00:03:35,106 --> 00:03:38,759
ceremony first and then you can take her. Get the fuck out of here, dude.

51
00:03:39,193 --> 00:03:42,892
Get the fuck out of here. Suck a dick. Literally suck a

52
00:03:42,892 --> 00:03:46,430
dick. Yeah. And Rhysand is the lord of the Night Court.

53
00:03:49,503 --> 00:03:53,052
Um, one thing, like a side note, and I don't really know what it means

54
00:03:53,052 --> 00:03:56,507
yet, but in reading these books again, whenever Rhysand is

55
00:03:56,571 --> 00:03:59,604
gonna do something or he shows up somewhere, I feel like there's this—

56
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,781
there's 2 things that, uh, Sarah J. Maas puts in

57
00:04:04,642 --> 00:04:07,580
And it's like he puts his hands in his pockets. Yes.

58
00:04:08,431 --> 00:04:11,995
Or he's picking a piece of lint, like this invisible lint off of his

59
00:04:12,091 --> 00:04:15,768
clothes. I don't know what that means yet, but in that day, he puts his

60
00:04:15,784 --> 00:04:19,300
hands in his pockets, and I fucking love

61
00:04:19,332 --> 00:04:22,719
Rhysand because he's like— because couldn't you imagine, like,

62
00:04:23,185 --> 00:04:26,973
your mate is begging for help, you show up, he

63
00:04:26,973 --> 00:04:30,698
knows Feyre is his mate this whole time. He knows

64
00:04:30,794 --> 00:04:34,374
this. And he took the three

65
00:04:34,374 --> 00:04:38,149
months because I, uh, yeah, it's

66
00:04:38,149 --> 00:04:41,117
revealed in this book later on. But he took took that time because he was

67
00:04:41,117 --> 00:04:44,088
actually never gonna go. He thought she was happy with Tamlin,

68
00:04:45,638 --> 00:04:48,770
but that's his mate. So he was suffering, but he was gonna take that burden

69
00:04:48,867 --> 00:04:52,453
as long as she was happy. So you imagine

70
00:04:52,485 --> 00:04:56,313
finally you hear your mate calling for you. Oh wait, hold on, hold

71
00:04:56,313 --> 00:04:59,854
on. Hold on. Wait. Hold on. Hold on.

72
00:05:00,352 --> 00:05:03,840
She he can't no no I just

73
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:07,209
no here's why because if he

74
00:05:07,436 --> 00:05:10,927
really knew that she was happy and he was going to do the

75
00:05:10,927 --> 00:05:14,419
thing he was just going to let her get married then

76
00:05:14,726 --> 00:05:18,180
what happened with the bond she

77
00:05:18,357 --> 00:05:22,181
he would have known through the bond that she was

78
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:26,124
fucking miserable oh no but that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

79
00:05:26,224 --> 00:05:30,002
In real time, is Rhysand an asshole? I mean,

80
00:05:30,423 --> 00:05:34,046
yeah, but, but that's what I'm saying,

81
00:05:34,143 --> 00:05:37,960
right? Like, he, he was always, I guess, sort

82
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,589
of listening through the bond, but he took 3

83
00:05:41,589 --> 00:05:44,779
months because she just was in denial. She was just like, no, I'm happy.

84
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:48,908
The problems of like her, I want to go, I want to go, start after

85
00:05:48,908 --> 00:05:52,066
3 months when Tamlin's like, no, you can't come.

86
00:05:52,706 --> 00:05:56,428
But we don't know. Like, obviously they were happy enough to have gotten engaged

87
00:05:56,428 --> 00:05:59,753
within 2 months. So I think he

88
00:06:00,128 --> 00:06:03,854
only comes because he starts to hear her being

89
00:06:03,952 --> 00:06:07,732
unhappy. That's, that's my theory. You don't

90
00:06:07,749 --> 00:06:11,497
think— no. Yes. Okay. But now I'm thinking

91
00:06:11,593 --> 00:06:15,372
that because they have the bond, the mate bond

92
00:06:15,471 --> 00:06:19,306
and the, the bond from the tattoo, If

93
00:06:19,338 --> 00:06:22,692
he's been watching and listening this whole time, then he knows she's fucking miserable.

94
00:06:23,686 --> 00:06:26,703
And that's— yeah, he comes because she calls him.

95
00:06:27,842 --> 00:06:31,243
Yeah, and I think that's what it was, is that he was waiting for her

96
00:06:31,451 --> 00:06:35,142
to call him and didn't want to take action upon

97
00:06:35,142 --> 00:06:38,334
himself. He wanted it to be her choice and not his,

98
00:06:39,650 --> 00:06:43,500
which is also kind of manipulative in its own fucked

99
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:46,485
up kind of way. You think so? I don't

100
00:06:47,190 --> 00:06:48,891
know. Yeah, because

101
00:06:49,019 --> 00:06:52,485
like, they had, they had this

102
00:06:52,485 --> 00:06:55,613
bond, right? And they—

103
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,169
how do I put this into fucking words? They had this bond and

104
00:07:00,185 --> 00:07:03,474
like they can both feel it, right? Because they can feel it through that, that

105
00:07:03,474 --> 00:07:07,164
tattoo. But I also think that like

106
00:07:07,485 --> 00:07:11,255
Rhysand had some fucked up childhood trauma also that

107
00:07:11,255 --> 00:07:15,061
was showing up with this, with this relationship he

108
00:07:15,238 --> 00:07:18,940
wanted to have with Feyre. He

109
00:07:18,940 --> 00:07:21,064
didn't know how to act upon it

110
00:07:22,804 --> 00:07:26,266
in a positive way. I,

111
00:07:27,091 --> 00:07:30,570
I don't know, it's kind of fucked up. Okay, so

112
00:07:31,201 --> 00:07:34,695
back on track. Sorry. No, no, no, you're fine, you're fine. Let's keep talking and

113
00:07:34,695 --> 00:07:38,236
diving into this. So she's got a tattoo, but that tattoo is an

114
00:07:38,236 --> 00:07:41,910
agreement, a bargain she made. That's not the bond. That is an

115
00:07:41,910 --> 00:07:45,573
agreement that she'll spend one week every month with Rhysand. He can cash it in

116
00:07:45,626 --> 00:07:49,357
whenever he wants. But he can— but he can— He can see through

117
00:07:49,357 --> 00:07:53,201
the eye. He can observe to a point. Yeah. And he can

118
00:07:53,297 --> 00:07:57,029
manipulate it to like— because he created the

119
00:07:57,029 --> 00:08:00,098
pain when she was doing the second trial or whatever.

120
00:08:00,818 --> 00:08:04,401
Mm-hmm. But that's not their mating bond. It's not their mating

121
00:08:04,433 --> 00:08:07,402
bond. But their mating bond is like—

122
00:08:09,436 --> 00:08:13,162
she keeps pushing off— for me, she keeps pushing off the

123
00:08:13,162 --> 00:08:15,346
mating bond as the bond in the tattoo because she doesn't know about the mating

124
00:08:15,346 --> 00:08:19,029
bond. Right? Even though

125
00:08:19,352 --> 00:08:23,112
she feels, when she died, she feels that

126
00:08:23,144 --> 00:08:25,745
home is on the other side of that bond, right?

127
00:08:28,570 --> 00:08:31,088
Whatever. There's still stuff there.

128
00:08:31,233 --> 00:08:34,784
But for me, for this whole thing, it's just

129
00:08:34,784 --> 00:08:37,715
that— I

130
00:08:37,828 --> 00:08:41,436
think— Before, I would have said Rhysand

131
00:08:41,871 --> 00:08:45,302
was waiting for her to have her choice to give her

132
00:08:45,741 --> 00:08:49,377
advocacy— not advocacy. What's the word I'm looking for?

133
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,614
Somebody somewhere is yelling in the back of their brain, like, with the right word.

134
00:08:56,436 --> 00:09:00,263
But, but advocacy over her, her choices in her life, and right to

135
00:09:00,263 --> 00:09:03,838
give her power, give her that power back over her own

136
00:09:03,854 --> 00:09:07,346
life. Oh, giving her agency over her own— yes,

137
00:09:07,539 --> 00:09:10,668
agency over her own shit. Yes, yes. Which is

138
00:09:11,762 --> 00:09:15,313
everything that he does is gives Her choice, like

139
00:09:15,714 --> 00:09:19,507
it's always her choice. So for me, that

140
00:09:19,507 --> 00:09:22,062
was like a beautiful thing. But now I'm like re why?

141
00:09:23,470 --> 00:09:25,543
What about what I said made you rethink that?

142
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:31,294
Because I agree with what you just said as being what's happening. So now I'm

143
00:09:31,406 --> 00:09:34,292
curious what why the change of heart now?

144
00:09:35,971 --> 00:09:37,578
I think it really just comes down to is.

145
00:09:40,267 --> 00:09:43,910
Like, am I just being snowed by Sarah J.

146
00:09:44,007 --> 00:09:47,376
Maas? I don't know, because I thought like

147
00:09:47,376 --> 00:09:51,169
Rhysand was the bee's knees. And I have

148
00:09:51,169 --> 00:09:54,771
some pretty like controversial ideas

149
00:09:54,884 --> 00:09:57,016
in some of the other books that I can't really put in now,

150
00:09:57,308 --> 00:10:01,096
but it

151
00:10:01,339 --> 00:10:04,399
really resonated with me when G was like, uh, that's a little bit manipulative.

152
00:10:06,217 --> 00:10:09,720
A little. Yeah, I don't understand that. I don't, I don't, uh, I don't share

153
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,428
that sentiment. I think, uh, for me it's what you just said.

154
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,149
He— my brain goes like this. We don't know what happens

155
00:10:20,503 --> 00:10:24,259
until we pick up with her at 3 months, right? We don't know 1 to

156
00:10:24,275 --> 00:10:27,989
3. We know 1 to 2, they get engaged. 2 to 3,

157
00:10:28,220 --> 00:10:31,830
we don't know. They could have

158
00:10:32,013 --> 00:10:35,694
been. She could have been like, oh, we're back in the Spring

159
00:10:35,742 --> 00:10:39,455
Court, everything is great, we're fucking every day, everything is fantastic. And

160
00:10:39,455 --> 00:10:42,636
then at 3 months he's like, yo, gotta go, there's some beasts coming in here,

161
00:10:42,911 --> 00:10:46,402
you can't come though. You know, like, we don't know, right? So in my brain,

162
00:10:46,466 --> 00:10:49,198
I, I see Rhysand's mating bond

163
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:53,840
as the lifeline. He can always hear her because she doesn't know how to put

164
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,426
up her shields yet. Like, he's hearing— Why doesn't So, but why doesn't he step

165
00:10:57,426 --> 00:11:01,023
in and do something? Like, well, he does, right? Like he, yeah,

166
00:11:01,103 --> 00:11:04,603
don't play. My theory is that at the wedding is the

167
00:11:04,651 --> 00:11:08,425
first time she shouts for help. Help me, help me, help me. Someone get me

168
00:11:08,425 --> 00:11:11,491
outta here. Save me from this. Like, end it all. Just get me outta here.

169
00:11:11,556 --> 00:11:14,301
And he goes, heard. Like flies through. Yes.

170
00:11:15,714 --> 00:11:19,472
Like forever and ever until G just dropped that little nugget of

171
00:11:19,568 --> 00:11:22,745
like, well, But what about before?

172
00:11:23,595 --> 00:11:27,346
What about months 0 to 3? It's not like she just immediately

173
00:11:27,602 --> 00:11:31,449
developed in 2 weeks before the wedding the anxiety

174
00:11:31,449 --> 00:11:35,024
and the nerves of puking and losing weight. Like, that kind of thing takes time

175
00:11:35,457 --> 00:11:38,951
usually. Yeah. And like, that sort of spiral takes time

176
00:11:39,769 --> 00:11:43,167
and, uh, punishing yourself takes time.

177
00:11:44,033 --> 00:11:47,575
So like, I don't know, she's

178
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:51,000
fucking miserable. She's fucking miserable.

179
00:11:51,902 --> 00:11:55,414
Mm-hmm. So why not do something

180
00:11:55,608 --> 00:11:59,448
before? Yes, to help her. Like,

181
00:11:59,658 --> 00:12:03,476
he literally listened. Would she have read it as, oh my God, thank God you

182
00:12:03,476 --> 00:12:07,262
saved me, before that? I, I don't know. Like,

183
00:12:07,632 --> 00:12:11,192
put your own— put yourself in there. She listened to the music. She

184
00:12:11,192 --> 00:12:14,896
listened to, uh, when he came down with him

185
00:12:14,896 --> 00:12:17,333
until after. She thought the music was Tamlin.

186
00:12:18,993 --> 00:12:22,503
Yeah, but she still listened. He did something without her knowing that it was him.

187
00:12:23,082 --> 00:12:26,898
Oh, so you're saying like he could have intervened like how he did with the

188
00:12:26,946 --> 00:12:30,461
tattoo on her hand and not like be in person

189
00:12:30,526 --> 00:12:34,288
saying, yo girl. Right. She thought it was Tamlin, but it was, it

190
00:12:34,288 --> 00:12:37,890
was Rhys that was sending the music. Maybe there was, maybe there was. Why

191
00:12:38,003 --> 00:12:41,750
wouldn't he? Why wouldn't he? Or maybe that's what this book 6 or 7 or

192
00:12:41,814 --> 00:12:45,204
whatever is gonna be like, those little snippets of time or whatever, but

193
00:12:47,355 --> 00:12:50,641
Yeah, maybe there was a, you know, I don't like a certain

194
00:12:50,641 --> 00:12:54,328
distance. You know, music happened when they're in the same

195
00:12:54,408 --> 00:12:58,192
location. This time she's in the Spring Court, he's in the Night Court.

196
00:12:58,256 --> 00:13:01,831
Maybe that— I don't really know, because he can only

197
00:13:01,943 --> 00:13:05,774
watch her through the tattoo. He hears her through the bond, feels her. Yeah,

198
00:13:05,854 --> 00:13:09,622
yeah, I, I think he was trying to be respectful of her too, right? Because

199
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:13,408
she's trying to figure her own shit out. Yeah. But when

200
00:13:13,506 --> 00:13:17,253
she really, really, really needed help, he was there.

201
00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:20,994
Yes. He was there. And like, he,

202
00:13:22,361 --> 00:13:26,123
he saw things in her that she didn't really see for herself.

203
00:13:27,626 --> 00:13:29,356
And maybe

204
00:13:30,958 --> 00:13:34,758
innocently— I can't say that. Anyways, I'm not gonna say the word because

205
00:13:34,758 --> 00:13:36,829
I can't say it. Um, announced to her.

206
00:13:38,401 --> 00:13:42,025
Same thing. Okay, that's a that's a ten letter word that's not coming out of

207
00:13:42,025 --> 00:13:44,040
my mouth. But um, hang

208
00:13:47,312 --> 00:13:51,145
on. Sixty three, sixty three year old brain fart. Just lost my thought. I thought

209
00:13:51,177 --> 00:13:53,457
you were about to do math. You were like sixty three, and I'm like, what

210
00:13:53,457 --> 00:13:57,032
is she gonna add to it? It's like, we're

211
00:13:57,032 --> 00:14:00,624
twelve. Where the fuck are you going? Maybe the one squared.

212
00:14:05,138 --> 00:14:08,831
I, but I think that parentheses fuck hurts

213
00:14:09,224 --> 00:14:11,730
to the umpteenth degree. Squirrel! Hi,

214
00:14:14,054 --> 00:14:17,298
assholes. Um, but

215
00:14:17,298 --> 00:14:20,780
fuck, I can't even think now. I was gonna say, did you completely lose it

216
00:14:20,780 --> 00:14:24,403
now? Because I did. I'm fucking with you. I am so sorry. What a bunch

217
00:14:24,403 --> 00:14:28,140
of assholes. Listen, I'm old and I don't fucking remember things from

218
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:31,803
like second to second. But what I what I thought was

219
00:14:31,997 --> 00:14:34,972
really interesting is that she could.

220
00:14:35,392 --> 00:14:38,059
I'm closing my eyes because I can't even look at the two of you.

221
00:14:42,508 --> 00:14:46,196
And for our listeners, we record video, and I

222
00:14:46,325 --> 00:14:50,032
can see these two assholes, and they're trying to like

223
00:14:50,145 --> 00:14:52,750
get me off my game. No, no, no. We're trying to hold it in, but

224
00:14:52,798 --> 00:14:55,452
we're not doing a very good job. If I was gonna try to get you

225
00:14:55,452 --> 00:14:59,080
off your game, I'd be sending you pictures of boobs, man. Or turning the

226
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,884
vibration on. Hey, I need a remote from out here.

227
00:15:04,220 --> 00:15:07,536
Who's your mammy now,

228
00:15:10,257 --> 00:15:13,914
bitch? What'd you say? Every time she says

229
00:15:13,914 --> 00:15:15,315
Tamlin— A love affair with Rhysand?

230
00:15:17,337 --> 00:15:21,034
It's too much edging.

231
00:15:21,615 --> 00:15:24,909
Well, she took off the— she's crying.

232
00:15:26,043 --> 00:15:29,744
She is crying. We have broken teeth. The glasses have come

233
00:15:29,744 --> 00:15:33,122
off and the tears are running down not only her face but her leg as

234
00:15:33,205 --> 00:15:36,038
well. Soon. Okay,

235
00:15:37,112 --> 00:15:40,821
I can't remember what I was saying. We were talking about

236
00:15:40,853 --> 00:15:43,615
manipulation. You said— yeah, okay,

237
00:15:44,687 --> 00:15:47,156
okay, that's all I needed to know. It's like

238
00:15:51,314 --> 00:15:55,121
Rysand is trying, all right? Like, all 3 of them have some fucked up

239
00:15:55,186 --> 00:15:59,026
PTSD. Fucked up, right? Like, they've all been like screwed over.

240
00:16:00,140 --> 00:16:03,678
They're all trying to recover from Amaretto and her

241
00:16:04,049 --> 00:16:07,797
bullshit. But I, you know, the fact that Rysand

242
00:16:08,153 --> 00:16:11,988
hates, hates Tamlin— hates, and that's a strong

243
00:16:12,037 --> 00:16:14,048
word— but like, he really hates him.

244
00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:19,641
Um, he wanted to save this woman, this woman

245
00:16:19,641 --> 00:16:23,346
that he fell in love with underneath the mountain and

246
00:16:24,316 --> 00:16:28,137
never even like gave it 2 thoughts. He wanted

247
00:16:28,169 --> 00:16:31,679
to help her. And like, yeah, while some of the stuff that

248
00:16:31,792 --> 00:16:35,592
happens later on in the book, I felt very— felt like

249
00:16:35,592 --> 00:16:38,498
she was being manipulated and it pissed me off a lot.

250
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:44,206
He wanted to save her. He wanted to make her, make

251
00:16:44,206 --> 00:16:47,937
her heart happy. She— he wanted her to be able to breathe

252
00:16:48,436 --> 00:16:51,671
because at that point, like maybe 5 feet from

253
00:16:51,896 --> 00:16:54,665
Tamlin on the wedding day,

254
00:16:55,923 --> 00:16:59,727
she, she just couldn't do it. No, she was gonna

255
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:03,117
say no. She was about to say, no, I can't. And then he's like, boop.

256
00:17:03,976 --> 00:17:07,819
Um, I do love how much of an asshole he was as he

257
00:17:07,819 --> 00:17:11,666
swoops in on their wedding day. He's like, oh, was I

258
00:17:11,699 --> 00:17:15,532
interrupting something? My B. He's like, sorry, I

259
00:17:15,564 --> 00:17:19,394
thought it was over. He's like, at least Farah seemed to think so. It's like,

260
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:21,809
fuck. I love that he walks in.

261
00:17:23,383 --> 00:17:26,579
He comes because he is called. He

262
00:17:27,195 --> 00:17:29,628
swoops her up and takes her to the Night Court.

263
00:17:31,918 --> 00:17:35,692
And what a beautiful place that is. Oh, very

264
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:39,483
beautiful. Like perched up on this ledge and it's

265
00:17:39,567 --> 00:17:43,003
Cold as fuck outside, but— excuse me, I burped— very

266
00:17:43,035 --> 00:17:46,873
subtropical inside. Don't burp into the mic. Oh,

267
00:17:46,985 --> 00:17:50,485
I'm so sorry. Can you hear me now? She said burp into the mic.

268
00:17:50,807 --> 00:17:53,729
I'm not gonna burp in the mic, okay? I won't even fart in the mic,

269
00:17:53,777 --> 00:17:56,555
okay? Number one, I gotta stand up, stand on my tippy toes to have to

270
00:17:56,555 --> 00:17:59,686
make that happen. Don't fart in the mic, you'll get some sort of something on

271
00:17:59,718 --> 00:18:01,516
your face. Thrush.

272
00:18:05,940 --> 00:18:07,675
Hand, foot, and mouth disease.

273
00:18:11,146 --> 00:18:14,278
Pink eye. Pink mouth.

274
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,148
Will my tongue fall out? Well, I hope not. If it

275
00:18:19,148 --> 00:18:22,864
hasn't yet, it might not ever. Yeah, I'm like,

276
00:18:23,106 --> 00:18:26,811
I wanted to go to the Night Court. I wanted to be where Feyre was.

277
00:18:27,798 --> 00:18:31,017
I want to be where the Night Court is.

278
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:37,014
I just, I loved how he saved her,

279
00:18:38,619 --> 00:18:42,327
and that, that's what made me happy. Mm-hmm. Yeah,

280
00:18:42,408 --> 00:18:45,991
the Night Court's described like this beautiful, open, airy

281
00:18:46,505 --> 00:18:50,105
place on top of a mountain, and it's cold, but somehow, like you said, it's

282
00:18:50,105 --> 00:18:53,251
nice and warm, so it's comfortable. And I think it,

283
00:18:54,581 --> 00:18:58,344
like, it's the complete opposite of the Spring Court for, for her.

284
00:18:58,474 --> 00:19:02,243
She's in this like this breathable area where she can like breathe for the

285
00:19:02,243 --> 00:19:06,029
first time. She doesn't feel like there's shit coming down on her,

286
00:19:06,109 --> 00:19:09,814
but she's pissed, right? Holy shit, you came and you took me

287
00:19:09,862 --> 00:19:13,631
from my wedding day. Even though she was fucking asking to be saved, she doesn't

288
00:19:13,647 --> 00:19:17,240
want to acknowledge it. She doesn't want to admit that she asked

289
00:19:17,256 --> 00:19:20,993
that. And when he shares like, yo, I heard you fucking yelling, dude,

290
00:19:21,747 --> 00:19:25,340
like, you're welcome. Yeah, like she— and

291
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:29,193
parts of the book, she's like super ungrateful. And that kind of pissed me

292
00:19:29,193 --> 00:19:32,925
off too. I'm like, these people fucking saved you from a life of

293
00:19:33,054 --> 00:19:35,113
hell with Tamlin,

294
00:19:37,125 --> 00:19:40,880
and you're being a little bitch. Yeah, she's torn. She's clearly

295
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,118
battling with herself, right? Like,

296
00:19:45,666 --> 00:19:49,063
fuck, I'm not supposed to want this, but I do.

297
00:19:49,707 --> 00:19:53,443
Mm-hmm. And that is probably because

298
00:19:53,459 --> 00:19:55,318
that's your mate, you fucking dumb bitch. Anyways.

299
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:02,880
So here's what I have though. Uh,

300
00:20:03,188 --> 00:20:06,760
the atmosphere is tense off the back. Rhys

301
00:20:06,856 --> 00:20:10,633
immediately jumps into the quote-unquote asshole role of like challenging her,

302
00:20:10,649 --> 00:20:14,265
kind of poking at her, pushing her buttons to get a rise out of

303
00:20:14,265 --> 00:20:16,308
her. Yeah, because she's like in

304
00:20:17,245 --> 00:20:21,042
non-emotion, non-feeling mode. Yeah. He just wants

305
00:20:21,042 --> 00:20:23,886
her to see— he just wants to see her have some sort of emotion anymore.

306
00:20:24,306 --> 00:20:28,114
Any emotion is better than none. Yeah. He tells her, you look like the

307
00:20:28,114 --> 00:20:31,960
doe-eyed damsel he and that simpering priestess want you to be. Like,

308
00:20:31,993 --> 00:20:34,513
he's immediately like, who the fuck are you? You look ridiculous.

309
00:20:36,711 --> 00:20:40,248
And, um, he like starts poking at her. Does

310
00:20:40,264 --> 00:20:42,429
Tamlin know or ask you about your nightmares?

311
00:20:44,244 --> 00:20:48,034
And he just keeps at it. And then finally, uh, I think, you know,

312
00:20:48,050 --> 00:20:51,596
she, she about has enough. He walks away and like, that's the first kind of

313
00:20:51,628 --> 00:20:55,166
glimpse we get into like besides the fact that she's strong and she's bending and

314
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:59,050
breaking shit, you start to see that like she's got something else there where

315
00:20:59,050 --> 00:21:02,325
she takes off her shoe and throws it at him so fast that he can't

316
00:21:02,325 --> 00:21:05,727
even react, right? The super high lord of the Night Court has no idea the

317
00:21:05,727 --> 00:21:07,942
shoe's coming at him, and then it hits him on the back of the head

318
00:21:07,942 --> 00:21:11,023
and he's like, what the fuck was that? Do you

319
00:21:11,633 --> 00:21:15,244
think that he just dismisses her, or do you think that she couldn't

320
00:21:15,244 --> 00:21:18,406
possibly do anything to him, or do you think that he

321
00:21:20,878 --> 00:21:23,517
Uh, eggs her on and then gives her an opportunity?

322
00:21:25,843 --> 00:21:29,635
I think probably the second

323
00:21:29,635 --> 00:21:33,088
he eggs her on, but also I think it caught him by surprise

324
00:21:33,185 --> 00:21:36,879
just how fast she could be. Because then she throws

325
00:21:36,992 --> 00:21:40,251
the second shoe, before she does it he says, don't even fucking think about it.

326
00:21:40,364 --> 00:21:44,139
And she's like, I'm doing it. Chucks the shoe, and this time he catches it.

327
00:21:44,871 --> 00:21:46,972
And when he catches the shoe, it disintegrates into dust.

328
00:21:48,524 --> 00:21:52,178
So I think he egged her on because throughout

329
00:21:52,550 --> 00:21:56,248
their relationship, he eggs her on. Like, he gets her angry to see what

330
00:21:56,248 --> 00:21:59,744
she can do. And it's probably— I

331
00:21:59,792 --> 00:22:03,228
think I related it to anger is like the quickest

332
00:22:03,825 --> 00:22:06,618
emotion to sort of like grasp onto for her. Mm-hmm.

333
00:22:08,429 --> 00:22:11,787
And so he knows what works. Yeah, he

334
00:22:11,787 --> 00:22:15,283
watches and he listens. He did listen,

335
00:22:15,573 --> 00:22:19,398
unlike Tamlin, who didn't listen. Tamlin!

336
00:22:21,374 --> 00:22:25,134
He didn't listen, but like Rhysand listens, and

337
00:22:25,134 --> 00:22:28,653
he listens with all, like, all of his emotions and all his,

338
00:22:29,312 --> 00:22:32,270
his powers. He feels her in ways that

339
00:22:33,588 --> 00:22:36,027
Tamlin could never feel Feyre.

340
00:22:37,416 --> 00:22:41,174
Tamlin has, in my opinion, never had

341
00:22:41,367 --> 00:22:43,319
any sort of adverse

342
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:47,464
experience

343
00:22:50,045 --> 00:22:52,931
on such a level that Rhysand has. And I think

344
00:22:53,496 --> 00:22:56,994
that because Rhysand was

345
00:22:57,059 --> 00:23:00,853
raised the way he was raised and then lived the life

346
00:23:00,853 --> 00:23:04,545
that he lived and then got stuck under the mountain

347
00:23:06,418 --> 00:23:09,922
as Amaretto's, like, favorite toy.

348
00:23:10,487 --> 00:23:11,972
Mm-hmm. He really

349
00:23:15,131 --> 00:23:18,870
is able to— I don't know, he's able

350
00:23:18,919 --> 00:23:22,574
to see that, to,

351
00:23:22,736 --> 00:23:25,738
to listen with all of his emotions and to feel with all of his emotions

352
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:28,272
or whatever, especially now that she's

353
00:23:29,794 --> 00:23:33,545
dead. But I don't think that— I think

354
00:23:33,545 --> 00:23:37,086
that that just shows more of the

355
00:23:38,617 --> 00:23:42,200
naivete, how naive, uh,

356
00:23:42,394 --> 00:23:45,880
Tamlin is because he's never had any sort of adverse experience.

357
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,085
Yeah. Do we even ever hear about Tamlin's mom? Now that you bring that up,

358
00:23:51,344 --> 00:23:54,791
I don't know. I'm gonna have to go look later. Yeah. I mean, you're tapping

359
00:23:54,791 --> 00:23:58,136
right onto it, right? Like Rhysand was raised by a strong woman.

360
00:23:59,566 --> 00:24:02,584
Yeah, she was raised, but also like the Illyrian,

361
00:24:03,901 --> 00:24:07,594
right? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

362
00:24:07,979 --> 00:24:10,773
He went and he got beat the fuck up. By Cassian.

363
00:24:11,769 --> 00:24:15,124
Cassian said, ooh, you look like you got new clothes on. Kick your ass and

364
00:24:15,124 --> 00:24:18,753
take that shit. In my brain, yeah, exactly, exactly. And

365
00:24:18,753 --> 00:24:22,334
then in my brain, Tamlin's like training,

366
00:24:23,008 --> 00:24:23,811
quote unquote,

367
00:24:26,665 --> 00:24:30,385
with, like, as the prima donna

368
00:24:33,042 --> 00:24:36,597
man-boy. Well, he's the youngest. Yeah. But so he's the

369
00:24:36,597 --> 00:24:40,288
baby, so he gets everything. By, like, dicks. Angry,

370
00:24:40,482 --> 00:24:43,157
grouchy dicks. Angry, grouchy

371
00:24:43,239 --> 00:24:47,083
dicks. No,

372
00:24:47,165 --> 00:24:50,031
I think you're onto something there. I think that that is part of why Rhysand

373
00:24:50,031 --> 00:24:53,676
can tap into that stuff. You know, he knows what, what a strong woman

374
00:24:53,740 --> 00:24:57,336
looks like. And he knows, I think he shares some of

375
00:24:57,336 --> 00:25:00,355
like the feeling of, you know, he was Amaretto's whore.

376
00:25:01,607 --> 00:25:05,251
Feyre is like Tamlin's like little doll. Like, I think there's something there where he

377
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:09,121
can understand her better. Yeah. And I think they

378
00:25:09,137 --> 00:25:12,942
were both really fucked by Amaretto more so than Tamlin. I

379
00:25:12,990 --> 00:25:16,297
think Tamlin was just a little bitch. Oh, he was. Yeah.

380
00:25:16,458 --> 00:25:20,291
Super little bitch. I'm still pissed from the first book where he

381
00:25:20,291 --> 00:25:23,961
like sat there and did absolutely fucking nothing. Like a lump on a log.

382
00:25:24,410 --> 00:25:27,728
A lump on a log. Yeah, I love—

383
00:25:29,043 --> 00:25:32,714
more reasons why I love Rhysand. I love that he challenges Feyre. I love that

384
00:25:33,611 --> 00:25:37,282
from the moment she's in his court, he doesn't hide anything

385
00:25:37,378 --> 00:25:40,584
from her. He's answering any questions she asks. He lets her overhear

386
00:25:40,584 --> 00:25:44,319
conversations. He like— there's no secrets.

387
00:25:45,154 --> 00:25:48,859
in terms of what he's— what's happening in his court. And I think

388
00:25:49,084 --> 00:25:52,822
that was the complete opposite of Tamlin fucking glamoring

389
00:25:52,934 --> 00:25:55,790
people so she didn't know that they were— like, it was just the complete opposite.

390
00:25:56,127 --> 00:25:59,608
Yeah. And what the other thing I, I liked

391
00:25:59,608 --> 00:26:03,106
about it, that too, is like she finally felt like she had a

392
00:26:03,106 --> 00:26:06,892
family, right? For months and months and months, like,

393
00:26:06,908 --> 00:26:10,309
she's in this immortal world away from her family

394
00:26:11,867 --> 00:26:15,384
It felt like she left a controlling sugar

395
00:26:15,384 --> 00:26:19,223
daddy that wouldn't allow her to

396
00:26:19,239 --> 00:26:22,756
have any friends. And here comes her Sand

397
00:26:23,094 --> 00:26:26,900
and introduces him to all sorts of people and all sorts

398
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:30,659
of adventures. Yeah, yeah, let's talk about that shit, dude.

399
00:26:30,803 --> 00:26:34,561
After— Make sure she eats something. Yeah, yeah, he immediately

400
00:26:34,594 --> 00:26:37,774
starts. He's like, hey, you could be here. Uh, first thing we're gonna do is

401
00:26:37,870 --> 00:26:41,622
we're gonna teach you how to read. Right. He's— he starts writing her little

402
00:26:42,394 --> 00:26:46,157
funny, fucking hilarious, dickish little letters for her to read. Like, you look

403
00:26:46,157 --> 00:26:49,952
absolutely delicious, Feyre. Like, she has to learn how to read that, but he

404
00:26:49,952 --> 00:26:53,721
just keeps training her, helping her. Then he trains

405
00:26:53,721 --> 00:26:56,571
her how to raise her shield so that, you know, she can kind of protect

406
00:26:56,571 --> 00:27:00,033
her own thoughts. She doesn't have an open door to whatever's going on there.

407
00:27:01,610 --> 00:27:05,311
And again, completely— this is her first visit.

408
00:27:05,472 --> 00:27:09,041
He's already doing the things that she

409
00:27:09,041 --> 00:27:11,316
needs and she's able to

410
00:27:13,087 --> 00:27:16,677
know what she wants to know. Like, complete difference.

411
00:27:17,194 --> 00:27:20,956
And I loved how, like, when she was— like, when they were there,

412
00:27:21,392 --> 00:27:24,608
how she got introduced to Mor, right?

413
00:27:24,786 --> 00:27:27,440
Yeah. And, and their connection.

414
00:27:28,022 --> 00:27:31,679
And it was like a sister

415
00:27:31,679 --> 00:27:35,205
that she had been grieving for and wanting

416
00:27:35,461 --> 00:27:39,131
for, for the months that she had been in this, um, immortal

417
00:27:39,163 --> 00:27:42,993
land. And I, I loved that connection between the two of

418
00:27:42,993 --> 00:27:46,710
them. And I also like Mor because she's a little bit like me— super

419
00:27:46,710 --> 00:27:50,028
sarcastic, doesn't really give two fucks, and, um,

420
00:27:50,781 --> 00:27:54,434
you know, does things the way she wants to do them. Yeah, so

421
00:27:54,434 --> 00:27:57,383
Mor is Morrigan. She's Rhysand's cousin.

422
00:27:58,516 --> 00:28:00,416
not necessarily by blood. They were raised together.

423
00:28:02,478 --> 00:28:06,227
Um, you had said something earlier where she feels like she has family. I think

424
00:28:06,356 --> 00:28:10,085
Mor was like the first person she

425
00:28:10,085 --> 00:28:13,177
meets in Rhysand's court besides Rhysand, right? And

426
00:28:14,336 --> 00:28:18,171
immediately, um, Feyre feels less alone,

427
00:28:18,267 --> 00:28:21,399
I guess. Like, Mor is like super open,

428
00:28:21,529 --> 00:28:25,267
sarcastic, like— I think, uh, Farrah says, it's

429
00:28:25,267 --> 00:28:28,106
nice to meet you. And Mor goes, you're lying. It's not nice to meet me.

430
00:28:28,171 --> 00:28:31,478
Like, you hate us, right? But like, she's just real with her.

431
00:28:32,285 --> 00:28:34,482
And I think that's the start of like Farrah

432
00:28:36,148 --> 00:28:39,867
realizing that there are people that care about her and

433
00:28:39,883 --> 00:28:42,519
like care about what she's going through and how she feels.

434
00:28:44,037 --> 00:28:47,723
Yeah, I love Mor. Mor was like the MVP of this book. And I, and

435
00:28:47,739 --> 00:28:50,121
I think also that like they, they can feel

436
00:28:50,169 --> 00:28:53,967
for Feyre, right? Because they have their own past trauma

437
00:28:54,676 --> 00:28:58,430
and they've been through like similar trials and tribulations

438
00:28:58,688 --> 00:29:02,467
as to what Feyre's been through. And remember, Feyre's still

439
00:29:02,467 --> 00:29:06,309
young, like even in fairy years she's still young.

440
00:29:06,485 --> 00:29:09,864
I felt like, um, Mor had like a very protective

441
00:29:09,978 --> 00:29:13,794
net around her. Yeah,

442
00:29:15,033 --> 00:29:18,631
I think you're right. I love Mor. So she's there, she's learning how to read,

443
00:29:18,728 --> 00:29:22,458
she's fucking training how to put up her walls, and that's her

444
00:29:22,458 --> 00:29:25,335
first visit to the Night Court, which is

445
00:29:26,005 --> 00:29:27,655
different than Velaris.

446
00:29:30,590 --> 00:29:34,153
Um, but yeah, time comes to an end, she has to return to the Spring

447
00:29:34,267 --> 00:29:37,799
Court. Uh, here's where I'm gonna start to get real fucking feisty.

448
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:42,478
You? Fucking feisty? Never. One time.

449
00:29:44,503 --> 00:29:47,844
First of all, I hated

450
00:29:48,342 --> 00:29:51,636
how bitchy Farrah was. She's like, "I want to go home. I'm ready to go

451
00:29:51,636 --> 00:29:55,308
home." Oh, side note, side note, side note. Another another way that

452
00:29:55,340 --> 00:29:58,770
Risan and Tamlin are completely different is that Risan says, "Hey,

453
00:29:59,623 --> 00:30:03,181
while you're here, you're part of my court. Nobody will hurt you. Walk

454
00:30:03,181 --> 00:30:06,899
around, take a look around, like do whatever you want. You're not a prisoner here.

455
00:30:07,028 --> 00:30:10,668
You are." going to be treated with respect, et cetera. Right.

456
00:30:11,696 --> 00:30:13,623
And she's like, well, if I can go anywhere I want to go, I want

457
00:30:13,623 --> 00:30:16,481
to go home. Now it's time for her to go home. And I think Rhysand

458
00:30:16,754 --> 00:30:20,302
to some degree is trying to see if she's ready to go back. Because

459
00:30:20,607 --> 00:30:24,252
the assumption is you, you, you left on your wedding day

460
00:30:24,926 --> 00:30:28,716
before the I dos. Are you all right? Are you

461
00:30:28,716 --> 00:30:31,590
going to be ready to confront that? Because that's surely got to be what we're

462
00:30:31,590 --> 00:30:34,641
going to talk about when you return. No, it's fucking not.

463
00:30:35,283 --> 00:30:39,008
He brings her back to the Spring Court, and the first

464
00:30:39,153 --> 00:30:42,830
thing that really gets discussed is, what did you see? What'd you hear? What

465
00:30:42,830 --> 00:30:46,217
happened? Who was there? Yeah. They start

466
00:30:46,217 --> 00:30:49,878
interrogating— they, Tamlin and Lucien, start interrogating Feyre to get

467
00:30:50,071 --> 00:30:53,764
as much information from her as they possibly can, because nobody knows what the Night

468
00:30:53,764 --> 00:30:57,297
Court is about, what happens there. So Feyre

469
00:30:57,297 --> 00:30:59,773
becomes a pawn in the game.

470
00:31:01,368 --> 00:31:05,212
They want to know what she knows. Yeah, like, like she's their

471
00:31:05,260 --> 00:31:09,030
spy. Yeah, fuck you. Yeah. And I was

472
00:31:09,289 --> 00:31:12,800
super fucking like, in rereading this book,

473
00:31:13,913 --> 00:31:17,430
that obviously is upsetting. But as he's like sort of

474
00:31:17,623 --> 00:31:20,785
doing this, she starts like taking note of like her

475
00:31:21,091 --> 00:31:24,768
surroundings and seeing that he has destroyed so much of this

476
00:31:24,834 --> 00:31:28,450
castle. after she left. So he's clearly got

477
00:31:28,450 --> 00:31:32,216
anger issues, right? Like, this guy. Yeah, think. Yeah, so like,

478
00:31:32,232 --> 00:31:35,693
that's like one of the first— When does he—

479
00:31:35,998 --> 00:31:39,475
does he blow up the office in this book? Yes.

480
00:31:40,084 --> 00:31:42,488
Yes. Okay. Yes. So

481
00:31:43,850 --> 00:31:47,375
they interrogate her. She also, mind you, is like, hey, like, let's just go

482
00:31:48,401 --> 00:31:50,869
like make love, reunite the way

483
00:31:52,484 --> 00:31:56,147
You would think a reunion would be after not seeing each

484
00:31:56,243 --> 00:31:59,649
other and this very traumatic event, but no, they question her.

485
00:32:00,340 --> 00:32:01,529
All that bullshit happens.

486
00:32:04,969 --> 00:32:08,603
Um, I don't, I don't remember if

487
00:32:08,798 --> 00:32:12,608
Lucien treated her any differently. I think he was again just eating Tamlin's ass. Like,

488
00:32:12,624 --> 00:32:16,177
yeah, let's, we got to do it now before you forget anything. Like, let's sit

489
00:32:16,177 --> 00:32:19,204
you down and But like nobody takes note of like

490
00:32:20,336 --> 00:32:21,694
what she really needs in that moment.

491
00:32:23,238 --> 00:32:27,017
Yeah, but I think she sees differently a little bit

492
00:32:27,615 --> 00:32:31,330
because she's been treated differently for a moment, and so

493
00:32:31,330 --> 00:32:35,102
she starts seeing the change in

494
00:32:35,199 --> 00:32:39,004
herself. Yeah, independently. She's like, hey,

495
00:32:39,021 --> 00:32:42,670
Rhys thinks I have powers, I should be training. Yes. And

496
00:32:42,914 --> 00:32:46,447
instead of saying, oh, like let me investigate that more, Tamlin's like, fuck,

497
00:32:47,218 --> 00:32:50,706
Fuck you. If that's true— It's never gonna happen. Yeah, if that's true, now we

498
00:32:50,706 --> 00:32:54,532
need to protect you more now than ever, and you

499
00:32:54,532 --> 00:32:58,322
cannot leave the house because if any of the other High Lords figure

500
00:32:58,322 --> 00:33:01,954
this out, you're in danger. So you need to stay. Like, he just

501
00:33:01,954 --> 00:33:04,586
closes the walls in on her more,

502
00:33:06,168 --> 00:33:08,477
and that shit drove me fucking crazy.

503
00:33:12,368 --> 00:33:14,853
Yeah, like, fuck him.

504
00:33:16,241 --> 00:33:20,016
Because truly, it just all goes back to him and

505
00:33:20,048 --> 00:33:23,725
being, um, being a dick and being like, I'm in control,

506
00:33:24,488 --> 00:33:28,158
you have no say here, you do as I say, not as I do,

507
00:33:29,030 --> 00:33:32,779
blah blah blah. Okay, fuck off. I'll be twitching when you say

508
00:33:32,779 --> 00:33:35,656
shit like that, G.

509
00:33:36,463 --> 00:33:39,771
Fuck all the fucking way off. All the fuck way up.

510
00:33:41,183 --> 00:33:43,670
Yeah, and I hate how he was like, she's like, oh my God, did you

511
00:33:43,670 --> 00:33:47,377
destroy this this office? He's like, I destroyed half the castle. He's like, um,

512
00:33:48,019 --> 00:33:51,854
like oh, I couldn't, I couldn't keep my anger together. Yeah, it's

513
00:33:51,854 --> 00:33:55,625
her fault. Let's just gaslight a little bit more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Her fault that

514
00:33:55,641 --> 00:33:58,979
like I did this because I was so mad because you did the thing.

515
00:33:59,637 --> 00:34:03,392
Yeah, yeah. So while she comes back, something

516
00:34:03,488 --> 00:34:06,922
else that happens besides being interrogated is they have

517
00:34:06,970 --> 00:34:10,644
something called the tithing. Where? Oh, the

518
00:34:10,708 --> 00:34:14,428
tithe. The tithe? Is it tithe or tithe? Tithe. Tithe.

519
00:34:14,733 --> 00:34:18,213
It's called the tithe. And okay, yeah, I know it sounds like tit,

520
00:34:18,502 --> 00:34:22,158
but it's not tit. Titties. The titties happen and everybody's got to pay titty

521
00:34:22,174 --> 00:34:25,445
taxes. Titty taxes.

522
00:34:26,744 --> 00:34:30,288
Um, which I think is another way that she, I think, is

523
00:34:30,288 --> 00:34:33,704
starting to see just how different Tamlin is from Rhysand, because in

524
00:34:33,816 --> 00:34:37,547
Rhysand's world, people live and come as as they please. Like, his

525
00:34:37,660 --> 00:34:41,380
job is to provide for his people. And on Tamlin's side,

526
00:34:41,397 --> 00:34:45,181
Tamlin's like, give me some tax money. Right. You gotta pay

527
00:34:45,424 --> 00:34:48,415
for my protection and to be a part of this. And if you can't pay,

528
00:34:48,512 --> 00:34:51,662
then we're gonna have problems. And her

529
00:34:52,291 --> 00:34:54,714
sitting there and watching that is when she

530
00:34:56,151 --> 00:34:59,890
makes a move that later on there's a reward

531
00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:03,003
to, where there are these water rates

532
00:35:03,003 --> 00:35:06,629
that Remind me of mermaids that can't pay the

533
00:35:06,629 --> 00:35:10,347
tax. And instead of showing mercy, Tamlin's

534
00:35:10,347 --> 00:35:14,076
like, you better— I forget however many days or weeks or something like

535
00:35:14,124 --> 00:35:17,966
that. Yeah, he's like, you have until this time. And remember this

536
00:35:18,095 --> 00:35:21,767
little nugget for later on in the book. Yeah, well,

537
00:35:21,816 --> 00:35:24,161
this is like the first time that I see that she

538
00:35:25,682 --> 00:35:27,732
blatantly goes

539
00:35:27,784 --> 00:35:31,491
against what he has said and done. And I was

540
00:35:31,491 --> 00:35:35,315
like, oh, bitch, yes! What are we gonna do now? What is he gonna

541
00:35:35,315 --> 00:35:39,035
do now? You're right. Because you just see it coming. You see

542
00:35:39,035 --> 00:35:42,045
the escalation coming. Like, how people—

543
00:35:43,954 --> 00:35:47,626
okay, everybody lives their own life, but I saw all

544
00:35:47,756 --> 00:35:51,072
this shit coming from, like, the

545
00:35:51,072 --> 00:35:54,646
middle of book 1, even though I really wanted it to just be

546
00:35:55,170 --> 00:35:58,865
Beauty and the Beast, right? I knew it wasn't in the back of my head.

547
00:35:59,523 --> 00:36:03,299
Oh, so mad!

548
00:36:03,797 --> 00:36:07,328
I had my bestie Westie. She was like, "Oh, that's interesting that you would

549
00:36:08,093 --> 00:36:10,500
think that he's an asshole." Usually everybody loves.

550
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:15,409
Hate that guy. Hate him from the beginning. Hate fuck that guy.

551
00:36:15,732 --> 00:36:19,525
Anyway, sorry. No, it's funny because you were like talking about Beauty and

552
00:36:19,525 --> 00:36:23,074
the Beast, and I know a lot of people couldn't, but. But I immediately see

553
00:36:23,074 --> 00:36:26,760
the Beast, like when Tamlin has his blowups. Like, I'm like, yeah, this is Beauty

554
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,868
and the Beast where the Beast goes in and slashes everything apart and breaks the

555
00:36:29,868 --> 00:36:33,650
fucking castle. Yes, Tamlin. Um, so the wraiths,

556
00:36:33,714 --> 00:36:37,223
they can't pay the tax. He gives them until like a later date to do

557
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,149
it. Feyre gets up and says she needs fresh air, finds the wraith outside,

558
00:36:41,342 --> 00:36:45,107
gives her all of her jewels. Does she have money? Yeah, take

559
00:36:45,107 --> 00:36:48,889
this, pay the tax, and then get yourself some food. Like, she

560
00:36:48,889 --> 00:36:52,464
is giving more than enough. Because she— the Wraith says we can't even feed our

561
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,296
own kids. Yeah, because the fish or whatever, they're gone.

562
00:36:56,408 --> 00:36:59,117
And then she says, there's nothing that you owe me in return. Just like, I'm

563
00:36:59,117 --> 00:37:02,516
just doing this for you. Take it and do it. And so she said, I'll

564
00:37:02,516 --> 00:37:05,048
never forget. Me and my sisters will never forget this.

565
00:37:06,427 --> 00:37:10,162
That, uh, nacho is what lights this little

566
00:37:10,194 --> 00:37:13,881
bitch up, is obviously he figures it out.

567
00:37:14,362 --> 00:37:18,065
what Feyre has done. It undermines him. You've gone against

568
00:37:18,530 --> 00:37:21,784
the way of our court, the law of my land, and you fucking have done

569
00:37:21,816 --> 00:37:25,471
this. And he blows up, and it explodes the office.

570
00:37:26,289 --> 00:37:29,831
And Feyre, out of instinct, protects herself with this

571
00:37:29,992 --> 00:37:33,839
magic bubble so that she's not injured. And she doesn't

572
00:37:33,839 --> 00:37:37,654
do it knowingly. It just instinctually, that's what happens. And

573
00:37:37,686 --> 00:37:41,453
this is the super triggering part of it, is that Tamlin can't

574
00:37:41,453 --> 00:37:44,659
get through the bubble. And so he's just apologizing to her, and she can hear

575
00:37:44,659 --> 00:37:47,553
him apologizing. She can hear him. Hear him saying, "I'll never do it again. I'll

576
00:37:47,553 --> 00:37:51,274
change. I'll do better. I'll do better. I'll do better." And she finally lets him

577
00:37:51,338 --> 00:37:54,891
in. And so that oh, ma'am.

578
00:37:55,504 --> 00:37:59,165
Oh, thank you. Yeah, thank you. What?

579
00:37:59,875 --> 00:38:01,923
What an asshole! Just like

580
00:38:03,262 --> 00:38:07,068
he's trying to be a good person, be a good soul, and he just wants

581
00:38:07,068 --> 00:38:10,542
to be the tyrant asshole, controlling

582
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,956
motherfucker is what he is. A controlling motherfucker. It's her fault.

583
00:38:15,060 --> 00:38:17,930
I'm sorry that I did this because you did what you did.

584
00:38:18,060 --> 00:38:21,606
I'm sorry for my reaction. Mm-hmm.

585
00:38:21,655 --> 00:38:25,202
But you did the thing. Yeah. So what did you expect me to do?

586
00:38:25,316 --> 00:38:28,102
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Uh, I'm sorry.

587
00:38:30,281 --> 00:38:33,607
No. Fuck off. Ohhh. Yeah.

588
00:38:34,340 --> 00:38:37,762
And then he just fucks her. He takes her upstairs, they make

589
00:38:37,827 --> 00:38:41,605
love, and he apologizes. Well, shit, that's not love. No, that's

590
00:38:41,605 --> 00:38:45,121
like fucking revenge sex. Yeah, it's like, that's like,

591
00:38:45,442 --> 00:38:48,943
um, pissed off sex. Okay, that's not even sex. That's

592
00:38:49,633 --> 00:38:53,246
like, we're gonna fuck before we go to sleep sex. Okay, whatever,

593
00:38:53,342 --> 00:38:57,148
doesn't always work. Yep. And then I think shortly after that is

594
00:38:57,180 --> 00:39:00,230
when Rhysand shows up again to cash in the agreement.

595
00:39:01,049 --> 00:39:04,373
It's time for you to come back to the Night Court. Yeah, because it's been

596
00:39:04,469 --> 00:39:07,886
3 weeks. And she

597
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,972
looks like shit again. Yeah. But this time

598
00:39:12,020 --> 00:39:15,754
she sees it when she goes back to Rhys and she starts, like, eating and

599
00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:18,110
eating and eating. When she goes back to the Night Court, she's like, oh my

600
00:39:18,110 --> 00:39:21,843
God, I'm so hungry, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. It's like,

601
00:39:21,956 --> 00:39:25,513
bitch, finally you see yourself. Yeah. Her clothes fit

602
00:39:25,561 --> 00:39:29,407
looser. He immediately says to her, hey, what happened? Like, I

603
00:39:29,407 --> 00:39:33,159
felt terror down through the bond. Like, what happened? She doesn't want to

604
00:39:33,159 --> 00:39:36,804
talk about it. She's like, no, nothing, everything's fine, we're

605
00:39:36,804 --> 00:39:40,320
fine, we are in love, he loves me, everything's fine, right?

606
00:39:40,657 --> 00:39:44,125
I'm just here to fulfill this thing. Yeah. And I

607
00:39:44,238 --> 00:39:47,867
think this visit is when Rhysand starts to see that, like,

608
00:39:48,027 --> 00:39:51,399
he's losing her. Like, he's losing her. Like,

609
00:39:51,961 --> 00:39:55,734
Feyre is losing herself. So he's, he's like poking at her, trying to push her

610
00:39:55,734 --> 00:39:59,312
buttons, trying to get her to like have a fight back, and

611
00:39:59,568 --> 00:40:03,398
she's just losing it. Yeah. Like, she doesn't have the will to even

612
00:40:03,414 --> 00:40:06,924
fight back. Um, I think finally

613
00:40:07,581 --> 00:40:10,465
he's able to, like, push her buttons enough where we start to see that she

614
00:40:10,465 --> 00:40:13,799
has other powers, where she starts to feel ice and fire,

615
00:40:14,167 --> 00:40:17,837
like she can make ice and fire happen in her hands. And he's like, oh,

616
00:40:17,869 --> 00:40:21,523
okay, there's still hope, you know what I'm saying? Like, there's, there's still my Feyre

617
00:40:21,539 --> 00:40:25,213
in there. And he continues to treat Training her to read and use

618
00:40:25,213 --> 00:40:28,918
her shield. And then he brings her

619
00:40:28,918 --> 00:40:32,561
back again to the Spring Court. And I like that his last words to her

620
00:40:34,156 --> 00:40:37,916
was, fight it. Whatever it is, you gotta fight it. And he drops her

621
00:40:37,916 --> 00:40:38,746
off at the Spring Court.
